Roxie Watching Television
I watch too much TV. I always have watched too much. Old Law and Order episodes are still my favorite, followed by the Real Housewives of Atlanta (guilty pleasure). Of course Roxie shares my fascination with the RHOA.

Still Here
There are days when one needs inspiration. I think of Marvin Sapp’s “Praise Him in Advance.
Like everybody I think I let people turn me away from a primary mission, love of God, love of self, Love of my fellow human beings and animals. I compare myself to others and then I remember Roxie and Jean Claude who have a sense of who they are in the world. Sure they fight, I think mostly for fun but there is no question they are confident in who they are and their life purpose. Cats are all that.
Letting Go
Ignore it. I noticed JC and Roxie tend to let go of things that should get them upset. I accidently locked Roxie outside today after I finished tending the yard . Later I opened the basement door there she waiting to be let in – as if her right… walking inside gingerly and confidently.
The LookOut
Roxie and Jean Claude are on an extended stay at their other residence, CCL’s house. This afternoon I paid them a visit and my daughter made brunch. I water her plants . Yes, I provide landscape services for two residences. Lately Roxie has seen fit to leave CCL’s house unexpectedly and stay out for hours at a time – rumor is she has a man. So as not to worry about her tarting out, I lured the cats to the basement before going outside to water my daughter’s flowers. Finished with the task and ready to enjoy sausage, eggs and pancakes I entered the house , let the cats out of the basement and sat down. Oops !! CCL(my daughter) reminded me I forgot to get fresh thyme from the garden for the eggs. That meant going outside again. Roxie and Jean Claude were already waiting by the back door poised to escape. The basement trick would not work a second time in a row. What to do?? CCL quickly grabbed a spray bottle filled with water and stood guard in front of me as I carefully opened the door, went outside grabbed the thyme and came back in the house . Teamwork.
Soft Scrambled Eggs(I recommend finding more recipes at Cook’s CountyKitchen.com )
To scramble soft fluffy eggs, heat the pan or skillet, add butter, then eggs and chopped herbs, turn off heat and scramble. To prep the eggs I just beat eggs slightly and add a little water or cream and then pour into the pan before cutting off the heat. A friend also pours a lot of “Dash” straight into the heated butter and then adds the eggs – also tasty.
Sanctuary
Sanctuary for Roxie and Jean Claude
Roxie and Jean Claude have spent the past several days at their other residence – CCL’s house. For those of you who don’t know that’s my daughter known as Crazy Cat Lady. Roxie and Jean Claude enjoy their multiple residences and have had several adventures while staying at CCL’s house. Definitely a lot more going on – busy streets, noisy neighbors up all night and a second floor back deck for a better view of birds and other UFOs – which also works for bungy jumping(Roxie) . But I feel the cats like my daughter’s company as much as I do. There is a certain peace in being with those you love …and like.
